Almost 34 weeks!

Wow, time flies in the 3rd trimester!  Things are still chugging along nicely.  I'll be 34 weeks in 2 days...wow still so hard to believe!  I am so incredibly thankful for everything I have in my life and I have been getting emotional lately when I think about where I was last year at this time.  Feeling Olivia play around in my belly is amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world....(cue the tears again, lol).

Anyways, we are working diligently on getting everything ready for her arrival in roughly 6 weeks.  The nursery is pretty much finished.  We are going to do some of our remaining shopping this weekend for all things baby.  That will include everything I still need to get for labor and delivery, specifically my hospital bag. 

Nervousness has also crept in recently.  As much as I can't wait for her to be here and meet our little miracle, I'm starting to seriously sweat a lot of small things.  Mostly, I just feel like there is no way I can ever be prepared for something like this....not exactly my style as a person that is typically organized and prepared when trying to take on something new. 

How far along?33 weeks 5 days

How are you feeling? 
For the most part I still feel pretty good.  I guess I just expect to be uncomfortable at this stage so I'm not really letting it bother me too much....YET :)  The acid reflux is still kicking my butt, my back pain has now spread to between my shoulder blades as well, urgnecy to pee is kicking into high gear, my feet starting swelling about a week ago and it seems to be a daily occurance now, my hands have swollen just enough so that I can't wear my wedding rings, sleep is getting more uncomfortable by the day....you know all the things that come with the late part of the 3rd trimester. 

Cravings? 
Nada, but I am pretty hungry in general

What are you missing?
Putting on my shoes and tying them without having to put forth a ton of effort, bending over to pick things up without thinking about it, wine/alcohol, and being able to get out of bed easily.

What are you looking forward to? 
Christmas!!!!

Baby Purchases?
Lots of little things here and there.  All the big stuff is done though, thank goodness!

Weight Gain/Loss?
+24
 
 
These pictures were from a couple of weeks ago when Brad and I went to the Lincoln Park Zoo lights with another couple.  I think this is the last time I even attempted to zip/button this coat.
And here's my bump from the work bathroom this morning:
